三．阅读理解

It’s been over a year since COVID-19 first appeared and the virus continues to be a problem in many parts of the world,scientists have realized the development of vaccines (疫苗) is a solution to the pandemic. A global effort to vaccinate as many people as possible would be needed, since vaccines typically take years to develop.

On Dec 2, 2020, the first COVID vaccine, the Pfizer vaccine, was approved (批准) by UK health department. However, these vaccines must be stored at very low temperatures, which is not possible everywhere. In response, Chinese companies like Sinopharm and Sinovac have developed vaccines that can be kept at normal temperatures.

Now, vaccines are being rolled out all over the world, with millions of people being vaccinated every day. In China, 285 million vaccine doses (剂量) had been given so far. Meanwhile, the US has given out 247 million doses. The UK now stands at 50 million doses.

Although there have been rumors about vaccines being unsafe, most of people seem to realize the importance of vaccination for building mass immunity (群体免疫) in order to stop the virus from spreading. The world has come to understand that the vaccines will protect us. Therefore, sharing vaccines has become a key factor of staying safe and healthy worldwide.

Unfortunately, not everyone can get the vaccine yet. Children below the age of 16 can’t be vaccinated because they have not yet been tested on them. Those who have a history of vaccine allergies (过敏) shouldn’t get it, either.

A. UK health department   B. Sinopharm         C. Sinovac    D. Pfizer

四、任务型阅读

Three years ago, Bing Dwen Dwen became the mascot（吉祥物）for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

The design comes from 5,816 works from 38 countries and areas. Cao Xue, the chief designer of Bing Dwen Dwen, said the idea first came from the traditional Chinese snack bingtanghulu. But a simple snack couldn’t stand for（代表）a country by itself. Cao’s team tried many animals and plants and finally decided on a panda.

However, there were already too many cartoon images of pandas. Cao first decided that it should be a baby panda instead of an adult one, so its body is as long as its head.

Cao’s team looked all over the world to collect all the panda designs they could find. They wanted to make sure their panda looked special. They visited the panda nature reserve in Wolong, Sichuan, to get ideas. They found that baby pandas are pigeon-toed（内八字）and often lean in while standing.

Now the panda in an ice shell is made into toys and models, as well as printed on notebooks, badges（徽章）and bags. People of all ages like them very much. “Design is like dancing with chains. I’m glad we performed（表演）a good dance.” Cao said.

六、回答问题

China’s first Mars rover (火星巡视器), Zhurong, drove down to the Martian surface at 10:40 a.m. (Beijing Time), May 22 and started exploring (探索), leaving the first mark of China on the red planet. It marched 0.522 meters on the surface of Mars to mark the important date.

Zhurong looks like a beautiful blue butterfly (蝴蝶). It is 3.3 meters long, 3.2 meters wide and 1.85 meters high. It has a three-Martian day cycle: first day for environmental perception (感知环境), second day for movement, and the last for scientific exploration.

Because of the bad Martian environment, Zhurong can work only one to two hours each time. It has to face a number of difficulties in order to work on Mars, such as the bad sunlight, low temperature, bad Earth-Mars communication and sand storms. For example, Zhurong cannot be controlled in real time. That makes its communication with the Earth really hard. The temperature on Mars falls below -130℃ a night. It’s also a huge challenge for Zhurong. What’s more, the wind on Mars could reach 180 meters a second, which is more than three times faster than a super typhoon (台风) on Earth. Such winds could start huge sand storms. These sand storms make Zhurong’s work harder. To deal with these difficulties, Zhurong works by itself for most of the time.

1.Why did Zhurong march 0.522 meters on the surface of Mars?

  ___________________________

2. What does Zhurong look like?

_____________________________

3. What is the size of Zhurong?

_____________________________

4. To work on Mars, what four difficulties does Zhurong have to face?

_____________________________

5. How does Zhurong deal with the four difficulties?

  _____________________________
